    The front O2 sensor looks pretty bad a lot of white marks from the old map running lean, but seems to be functioning, the rear O2 sensor is perfect are they directly swappable as the map completely ignores the second sensor anyway.
    Sounds like a new V band will fix it, I order a new one few weeks back also just in case
    Not sure if the 02s are interchangeable

    Combined with the open ended Cobb air filter I have intake noise is quite loud.

    Supposedly gives an extra pony or two, but not 100% on that.

    Today I ordered:

    Plasma dials
    JSPerformance hose kit (breather and rad hoses, ancillarys kit looked a bit too much)
    Compressor clutch coil
    cam sensor as mine has busted around the wires.

    Today i also Kissed goodbye to a chunk of my pay and will be living on a lovely diet of food less than $2 Click here to enlarge

    Thank goodness for savings aye.

    next on the list:

    parker bulbs
    oil and filter
    Coolant
    new hose clamps for added security

    and either pieces for the 280mm brake upgrade (which im finding will be a pain in the anus getting all the parts)

    Or to just settle for slotted rotors and decent pads for my current 260mm SRI brakes.

    Decisions.

    Did you get some new gauge needles to go with the plasma dials? With my non-plasma dials, I've noticed the needles are dark when lit. This is because they're a solid and not transparent in colour.

    Not hard to source the calipers and carriers, it's just the postage that's the killer.

    Nah, he bought a silver one whose engine had just self-destructed. Runs really well now and it turns out it has a tune too!
